The awkward bits of marketing pest control
Customers would rather nobody knew
People are embarrassed about mice or bed bugs, so they rarely talk about it. Reviews and word of mouth build more slowly than in other trades.
National names buy the top spots
Large franchises can outspend you on ads. A strong Google Business Profile and properly local pages are how an independent firm competes without matching their budget.
Contracts are where the steady money is
Wasp nests pay the bills in summer, but service contracts with food businesses and property managers carry you through winter. Most local pest control websites barely mention them.
Customers don’t know what they’re dealing with
Someone hearing scratching in the loft can’t tell whether it’s mice, rats or squirrels. If your site helps them work it out, you’ve earned their trust before you arrive.
What people want to know before they ring
Householders want speed and discretion. Commercial clients want paperwork they can show an inspector.

- Seasonal pages ready to promote when wasps or rodents are at their busiest
Content that follows the seasons
- A late summer Google post on spotting a wasp nest in a roof space or shed, and why not to tackle it yourself

Questions from pest controllers
Can you keep our marketing discreet for customers who don’t want the neighbours knowing?
Yes. Job write-ups never include addresses or names, photos are chosen so a property can’t be identified, and we keep the wording of review requests general.
We’re BPCA members. Where should that go?
Near the top of your homepage, on every service page and on your about page. Membership and qualifications are often the first thing a careful customer checks.
Do you cover moles, birds and squirrels as well as the common pests?
Whatever you treat can have its own page. Bird proofing on commercial roofs and mole work on rural properties around Otley or Wetherby are both things people search for by name.
Is it worth having separate pages for business customers?
Usually, yes. A restaurant owner and a worried parent are looking for very different things, and one page can’t speak well to both.
